Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell has cited 'personal reasons' were behind his loan move to Hull until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old will join up with former United captain Steve Bruce, who has led the Tigers to the top of the Championship, as they eye an immediate return to the Premier League.

Powell who missed the majority of 2015 after being plagued by hamstring injuries, returned to the first-team fold in United's December defeats to Wolfsburg which eliminated them from the Champions League and the 2-1 loss to Bournemouth.
